Culture has a profound impact on society and its goal is improving individual morals. Criminal aspects depicted in numerous cultural works and their influences are undervalued by neither the legal nor creative communities. It’s still a mystery whether one followed the example of Otello, Raskolnikov and Ivan the Terrible or refused from their criminal behavior, however this causes serious interest and demands discussion on how criminal activity of a human is influenced by various criminal acts portrayed in dramatic works, fiction and movies about crime.
The Kovalyov readings backed by cultural institutions of Yekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk region included representatives of various professions among local creative intellectual community as well as legal community members, who had a chance to ruminate on criminal law aspects applied by artists.
Jointly with the leading experts of law and art, participants had a unique opportunity to plunge into the creative process of making an artwork and its simultaneous evaluation from the criminal law standpoint.
